Selection windows jump (scroll) uncontrollably

When I try to manually select items to sync to a device, the list view (window) containing the options (Playlists, Artists, Genres, or Albums) jumps uncontrollably when I try to scroll using gestures on a Magic Mouse. Often it jumps to near the top of the list, although sometimes it jumps less. This makes it nearly impossible to select items.
I've never seen this behavior in any other apps, nor in iTunes prior to version 11.
iMac (mid-2011)
OS X 10.8.2
iTunes 11.0.1

I have only noticed this when I am inporting some Music. Otherwise works as advertised. Yes I use a Magic Mouse

Slow scrolling in iPod music selection window in iTunes8

Hi,
Since the update to iTunes 8 I've noticed that scrolling/dragging the scroll bar in the iPod Music selection window has become very very slow, to the point where clicking on the scroll bar and dragging it causes a CPU load spike on my Centrino vPro dual-core Lenovo T61 (4GB RAM 32-bit Windows) and very jerky responses.
This is only happening when selecting Music/Podcasts on both iPods. The Grid view/Coverflow etc is not showing ths behaviour.
This used to be smooth and quick - anyone else seeing this?

You are comparing apples and oranges - or further afield horses and carts.
The Portable Document Format is a rendered format. A layout engine has mapped character codes to glyph codes and the geometry of the line layout has been computed. What remains is to draw on the colour desktop display.
Apple Pages in layout mode and Microsoft Word in layout mode have to do the rendering, that is, map from character specifications to glyph shapings while composing ligatures in the line, decomposing ligatures at the end of the line and in tracked line layout, and much, much more.
It is proprietary information when Pages and Microsoft use which parts of the operating system to do what, and when they do whatever they do themselves. Nominally, there is ATSUI Apple Type Services for Unicode Imaging and there is CoreText.
Apple in its developer discussions is saying that ATSUI is slower than CoreText, by about fifty percent if memory serves. All of this again involves further parameter, namely whether the layout is by line or is by paragraph.
In the implementation of Apple TrueType 2 in 1994, the layout is by line hence the LLM Line Layout Manager. At that time, URW in Hamburg had an algorithm for paragraph level layout developed by Dr Peter Karow and Prof Hermann Zapf.
One of the reasons type developers gave for having hesitations about the composition model in Mac OS 7.5 in 1994 was that the layout was limited to the line level. Of course, so was QuarkXPress, PageMaker and every other application available at the time.
Anyway, OS X 10.4 and OS X 10.5 is still line level for speed, but if CoreText boosts rendering speed in OS X 10.6 it will also be possible to provide support for paragraph level layout (?). Alongside support for smart typographic scaling that is in the OS, but is not in Apple applications at this point.

I installed 4.01 and now when I click on a link in the menus or the seach window, the whole firefox browser window jumps

This happens when I click on most menu links. For example, if I click on Help and select "About Firefox" the entire browser window jumps. The same goes for if I click on the default search box or on the Google Toolbar search box.
If I click on something out of Firefox, such as my desktop or an open program, it jumps when I click the Firefox tab on my task bar to return to Firefox.
When I click a shortcut link, such as in bookmarks, it does not do it.

For those of you who have tried to clear this problem up with virus scans, various malware scanning programs, tdss rootkiller, etc....I have another possibility. I found another thread on this very forum where someone suggested the problem was in the router...specifically, there were manually entered DNS addresses in the router setup. I logged into my router (192.168.1.1) and sure enough, there were DNS addresses loaded and it was setup to use those DNS addresses. I simply clicked on the option to pull the DNS addresses automatically from my ISP, changed the password, and the problem was gone.
Thanks to cr85tx for the solution!!!

Document windows jump

I just upgraded to Yosemite on my MacBook Pro running a dual monitor setup (MacBook & Cinema Display) and now when I have my document window on the Cinema Display if I do any thing such as select an object etc. the window jumps so its top half is on the lower part of the screen while the bottom half of the window goes off the bottom of the screen. If I move it back up it just jumps back when I try to do something again. Help!

I have the exact same issue CDLeaver, and think this might be a bug, where a retina display laptop is connect to a non-retina second monitor.
What I discovered is that when I move my secondary screen so that it is positioned above the primary macintosh screen, the InDesign document window on the second monitor continuously repositions itself, it continuously jumps when you move it into position and then start working on it.
Once I lined up the tops of both monitors in the System Preferences > Display Preferences, the problem went away.

The problem of using timer in long windows with scroll bar

Hello everybody!
There is a problem of using timer in windows with scrolling. Lies in the fact that at the moment of the trigger "when-timer-expired", is "jumping" on the active field in the form (where the cursor). If the user scrolls at this moment unscrewed to view another location below, or higher, then it will then "jump" from the viewing area.
I tried to fix the problem by replacing the timer in Forms, a timer in the JavaBean.
It did not help. At the moment of the trigger WHEN-CUSTOM-ITEM-EVENT of JavaBean, anyway there is a jump.
I have not a few forms, but only one form. With one long window.
I use Oracle Forms 10.1.2.3.
The forum discussing this problem. But it has not been resolved, I think. It is also proposed to destroy and recreate the timer at the transition between the forms. But the form I have just one!
Has anyone encountered this problem? What are the solutions?

CraigB wrote:
Could you explain the overall affect you are going for? Perhaps if we knew what you were trying to achieve we could offer potential solutions that don't involve using a Timer or perhaps a differnt way to use the Timer.
Craig...No.
In different tasks, different purpose of timer. Can I use the timer without jumps?

ANNOYING: Ovi window jumping out each time I sit b...

Dear OVI Developers,
Each time I go out and return to sit back at my PC, OVI Suite window jumps out.
Now dear developers, if anyone reads it - this issue is dreadfully annoying and has been reported on many forums for a really long time.
Yet on all the threads I've seen (at least here, at Discussions) I have seen no single entry saying "we will fix" or anything.
If coding a simple checkbox "do not pop out" is really that hard, then at least say "we will not fix it". Just few words of information would be sufficient.
Your's sincerely,
Desperate user.

I suspect that "every time you sit back at your PC" is a bit of an exaggeration unless your PC has some kind of motion-detector that knows when you are there...
There is a certain amount of control that you can exercise over Ovi Suite - the easiest way to make sure it isn't active unless you specifically need it is to go to Tools>Options>General and un-tick the box marked "Start Nokia Ovi Suite automatically when your computer starts up" (see the attached file "ovi_suite_startup1.jpg"). This means that you can't quickly open Ovi Suite from the system tray, you have to go via the desktop or start menu, but it's only a very small sacrifice.
Once you use Ovi Suite, it remains open in the system tray. To kill it, just click the Ovi icon in your system tray then select Exit - see attached image "ovi_suite_closedown1.jpg".
Provided that Ovi Suite is not active in the system tray, it will not interrupt you - it will not attempt to carry out any scheduled activities and nor will it pop up when you connect your phone to the PC by USB cable.
I don't know what the specific issue is that people are moaning about on the forums, perhaps they simply haven't bothered to check how to restrict Ovi Suite's activities. The only issue I have noticed is that when active, Ovi Suite tries to hijack your connection mode - if you connect in mass storage mode to transfer files via Windows Explorer or you connect by Media Transfer mode to use Ovi Player, Ovi Suite pops up and switches your connection to PC Suite mode. This is indeed irritating, but easily fixed by follwoing the two tips I have just given.

ITunes window jumps to the front every 30 seconds

So I recently downloaded the latest version of iTunes, and ever since, when I have iTunes open, the program window jumps to the front of all the windows I have open every 30 seconds. It's INSANELY annoying. I can be in the middle of typing something on another window such as Internet Explorer or Microsoft word, and the iTunes window will jump to the front (it happened 3 times while I was typing this).
I have Windows Vista.

Hey there georgeboo,
It sounds like Safari shoots off the side of the sceen shortly after you launch it. I want to recommend a few things here. First, reset your PRAM and perform a Safe Boot and test the issue.
About NVRAM and PRAM
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
After resetting NVRAM or PRAM, you may need to reconfigure your settings for speaker volume, screen resolution, startup disk selection, and time zone information.
Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564
Safe Mode is the state into which you can start up your Mac by performing a Safe Boot. To perform a Safe Boot, press and hold the Shift key immediately after your Mac starts up. Continue holding down the Shift key until a gray Apple logo appears on the screen.
If the issue persists, I would next try resetting Safari:

I've just recently updated to the ver 4.0. After the update, I can't select my vertical scroll and any buttons on the search toolbar. I've tried switching off all the add-ons and running it on safe-mode but the problem still persist. Anybody encountered the same issue here? Any help would be good. Cheers

Okay. The missing menus at the top of iTunes (in recent versions) can indicate trouble with the Segoe UI fonts on your system. It's a new symptom of a problem that can also cause text to go missing from the Device tab in iTunes.
Unfortunately it's a bit trickier to deal with on Windows 7 systems than Vista or XP. (The "Vortical" instructions which can fix it for almost all folks on Vista and XP aren't applicable to Windows 7.)
Try having a look through the following (unfortunately very long) topic. It contains a lot of information on the Windows 7 variants of this, and possible methods for fixing the various Segoe UI-related issues that might be in play:

Macbook Pro 17" Black screen when selecting Windows 7

I got a Macbook Pro 17", late 2010 that has been experiencing an issue when selecting Windows 7 as my Boot OS. This is an intermittent issue. It happens like once every 8 or 10 usage. I already took it 2 the Apple Geniuses twice and I was turn around because, They say, They don't do Windows.
At this point, I'm hoping that Apple will come out with a Firmware Update or anything that will fix this issue. I know There are other users in the same boat as me or worst waiting for Apple to come out with a remedy.

You might want to reformat and re-read what you had.

I recommend buying Paragon NTFS if you really need to write to Windows (you shouldn't, I never have but had used NTFS driver at one time).

Windows boot manager boots almost fully into windows 8 before letting me select windows 7, at which point it reboots my computer

Hi,
I haven't used my slow HDD with windows 7 on it in a while, but today my SDD with windows 8 on it died. I have kept my old OS in a dual boot setup exactly for this rare possibility. I in fact successfully revived my SSD from windows 7.
During the restore procedure I had to boot into both OSes (7 and 8) several times before I managed to get 8 working. I tried a lot of things before one of them struck. (Is that how the phrase goes?
Me Hungary, no good speak English some times...) I am surprised to have found the following unexpected behavior of the new windows 8 branded boot loader:
The new windows boot manager boots almost fully into windows 8 before letting me select an OS.
If I select windows 7, it reboots my computer and loads windows 7, wasting a lot of time... on the windows 8 portion of the boot process, which is simply thrown away if I happen need windows 7 and not 8.
"This is highly inefficient!" — I almost exclaimed aloud... A boot manager should load just enough of itself so that a simple OS selection menu can be presented to the user with minimal keyboard interaction. Only when a selection is made should
it load an OS. I have no use for the new boot manager's mouse control support, and having it appear on the second screen in my dual screen setup is just plain scary. Use the main laptop monitor where the BIOS messages were displaying, and keep the secondary
off until the OS is done booting! By the time my secondary screen turns on, the boot selection menu disappears anyway.
Yes, I only noticed this problem now because I haven't booted into windows 7 for a long time. (300 MB worth of Windows updates were waiting for me indeed.) My boot selection menu timeout is set to 3 seconds instead of 30 so I don't have to pick windows 8
every time.
I am going to wait at least a week for the forum's input before I switch on my own to a faster, minimalist boot manager. I don't know what to use, I'm familiar with:
some minimalist bootstrap loaders
coreboot/linuxbios (recently learned of it)
bootcamp (not really)
acronis OS selector (discontinued before windows 8 came out, probably doesn't support it)
syslinux/isolinux (Linux only, I think)
old Windows bootmgr
more recent Windows ntldr
then this new "inefficient for dual booting" Windows 8 boot manager
and finally grub
Grub feels like the best option as it keeps the windows boot manager intact and supports mac, windows, and linux. All 3 of which will at one point — or has already — come up as a subject or prerequisite in my university.
I don't know how or why I was able to access windows 8's boot loader while my SSD was dead. Was it installed on the HDD, overwriting the windows 7 boot loader? That too is inefficient. I want to completely boot from my SSD. Don't spin up my HDD while I'm
booting my laptop on the go! The shaking of the vehicle I'm in could seriously damage the disk if I run into a pothole (common in my country) with just the right timing, data could be damaged. The entire reason windows 8 is on an SSD is so that it can boot
without accessing my HDD with all its moving parts. My goal with buying an SSD was for the HDD to remain safely offline while I'm in a shaky environment with potholes! Also, what if I want to disconnect the old HDD in the future... Or what if it dies? Will
the windows 8 boot loader die with windows 7? I want the two kept separately and completely independent from each other for exactly this reason.
In summary:
How can I stop windows 8 from almost fully booting before offering the dual boot OS selection menu? Do I need a better Boot loader?
Why was the boot loader that came with windows 8 still working OK while the SSD with windows 8 on it wasn't accessible? Did it sneak its way onto the old HDD? I want a 100% SSD-based boot process. What is the boot loader doing on a different drive? Its
place is on the SSD, with the operating system it belongs to. Not on the HDD of a different OS. Can I move it?
Sincerely,
Daniel "3ICE" Berezvai
p.s.: For windows 7 I only have a repair disk and hidden RECOVERY partition which I kept (came with the laptop, would rather not use it.) The Windows 8 pro DVD (purchased last year) is fine, but I had it moved to a bootable pendrive so I could remove my
optical drive and replace it with an SSD on which windows 8 is installed now. (I also have a vista ultimate DVD, as they were giving them away for free on a Microsoft conference. Funny story.)
p.p.s.: I am subscribed (☑ Alert me) to this topic and will respond to all questions and try all recommended actions right away.

Hi,
Thank you for your post.
From your description, I see the issue you are facing is there is no menu to choose OS when booting dual boot(Windows 7 & Windows 8). Please let me know if I have misunderstood anything.
It seems that the Windows 7 entry is missing, currently, we can use a tool –
EasyBCD to get it back. After downloading it, choose the Add/Edit panel item, select the OS you're missing and let the program detect it. Then simply click the Add button to add the missing OS entry.
At the meantime, here is a related link which demonstrates how to keep Windows 7 as the default OS in dual boot, you may use it for a reference.

How to hide PNP selection windows and set default values for PNP.

Hi expert,
I am using HR logical database PNP, but I don't want to display selection windoes for running program on PNP, whereas I want to set default value for some selection items in the program. could you please tell me how to get those two targets?
Many Thanks,

Hi
You have mentioned 2 things.
1. Don't want selection windows for running program for PNP - this can be achieved using the HR Report category - You can get more details on HR Report Category on
HR Report Category
2. I want to set default value for some selection items - This you need to achieve in initialization event of your program.
How you can get this can be explained by INITIALIZATION (SAP Library - ABAP Programming (BC-ABA))
Thanks,

Playlists don't appear in iTunes Playlist selection window when synching

I just updated to iTunes 9.0 (big mistake) and discovered that many of my playlists do not appear in the playlist selection window when I synch my iPod nano 2.0. Even playlists that I created after upgrading to 9.0 don't appear. I have more playlists than I can load onto my iPod, so I need to be able to select which playlists to synch. Since many don't even appear in the selection window, I can't put them on my iPod. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
BTW, I have already gone through the Five R's, which did nothing to help.

Personally I use Subler to tag all these shows and then send them to Itunes. In subler you have the option of setting the Media Type and also the HD option of 720 or 1080p if applicable. Save it then use the file, Send to itunes and they show up in the right place.
